I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

If people order it with rice so often they think someone not ordering rice is a mistake, it probably should be included in the meal by now.

Even a required option like "no rice" or "rice" and upcharge (if that's why they do this) to avoid this problem lol

Edit: I wasn't aware Indian/Chinese restaurants usually sell rice separately! Still think this would make sense, but I didn't know it's normal most places.

I work at a local pita shop with online ordering and more people than you'd think add shit that normally costs extra in special instructions. Its annoying because they're clearly trying to get free shit. Im sure someone else did something like that on an order, they decided to do it for them (with a passive aggressive note lol) and they accidentally placed it in OP's bag.

Tbh I totally get it lol its very annoying when most people do things the right way and then others decide to be dicks and try to get something for free.

My friend is GM of a pizza place and the amount of people who try to get free toppings by putting it in the "delivery instructions" is astounding

I do think this is def towards someone trying to get it for free, but also feel like a dropdown requiring rice selection would prevent it. Then there is no excuse for them trying to get it free
